This might be a longshot, but can you use the last fm feed to parse something a little more complex than the standard overall/12/6/3 month feed from last.fm?

Specifically, is it somehow feasabile to implement a feature that could create soft playlists from scrobbles from within a given time period? Instead of loading up my most listened tracks over the last year, I would like to load up my most listened tracks from August 2008, or the first 5 weeks of 2010, for instance. I know that Last.fm keeps the data required for something like this (through the scroblle cart history browser - http://www.last.fm/user/Maeldun/charts?charttype=weekly) however it doesn't serve the data in an outright manner.

Using this, you could have something like a "nostlagic" playlist builder from within your music library - music you relate to a certain time period.

I'm thinking you could download the raw profile data off last.fm and have the plugin do the parsing locally. What are your thoughts?

I am searching for a way to synchronize my playlists between two foobar installations on different machines.In a perfect world, this would be possible through an online service, like it is possible with xmarks to sync bookmarks in firefox.

But maybe it also could be done by using the xspf file format and a network share?Would it be possible to export all playlists automatically to an specified directory from time to time? every x minutes or when the playlist has been changed? Maybe only some playlists which are explicitly selected.

THX so far for this great component

I am trying to do something similar to this, but I can't even figure out how to save a playlist as xspf (it seems to only give me the option for my entire library). Does anyone know if anything like this is possible?

Hi! Functions from context menu like "like, ban, unban" don't work. What can be the problem?

You need update scripts "marc2000" use serch on forum :]

the question has nothing to do with my scripts.

@r3ddy, if the context menu isn't working for you as expected, check for messages in the foobar console found on the view menu. also make sure your username and password are correctly set (file>preferences>tools>soft playlists)

romor - how did you patch the component up? Do you have access to the source or did you literally patch up the dll? I asked Johan for the source a few times a while ago since I wanted to make some changes but didn't get a response and have now started writing a similar component from scratch, if the source is available though that would be a much better option!

I have almost no time left to work on this so I will zip the sources when I dig them out of my archive and make them available.Would be nice that somebody puts them in an online version repository, then I can still follow up a bit.Sorry for the late reaction.
